THE ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE:

  Welcome to New Year's Tri-Cities (formerly First Night). Whether this is your first time coming to our event, or you have been to each of the 13 annual celebrations, we sincerely hope you will enjoy yourself and the performances we have assembled for you.
  

   Our event is jam-packed with any type of entertaiment you could imagine! From our Kids Zone filled with clowns, magicians and bounce houses to our Teen Zone with bands and a "Guitar Hero" contest to smooth jazz and dancing to a capella singers, we have everything!

   I encourage you to come see what our event is all about and why we are the largest New Year's Eve celebration in the Mid-Columbia!
